I cannot promise sunshine
Or likewise forecast rain
I can only offer leadership
With hope to ease the pain
A new day now is dawning
Complete with hope and fear
But together we start the journey
With passion and good cheer
These first steps are important
To set a new direction
And make a world of promise
Where we are proud of the reflection
So, wipe away the slumber
There’s work that must be done
Join me on this journey
A new day has begun
About The Poem A New Day
A New Day is an inspirational poem about leadership and setting a new direction. Being a leader doesn’t mean you have all the answers or can solve all the problems. The goal is to make things better for the people that you serve. It’s not going to be easy and it could be scary, but any change is going to be part promise and part fear. Leadership is about being willing to take the journey and face all the challenges for a worthy goal.
We all want to create something that we are proud of and that reflects well on us. We want those around us to look at what we are doing and be impressed and recognize it as a greater good. It’s easy to be selfish and do something that only benefits a small group. These are generally short lived and and don’t end well. We want to create things that our grandchildren look back and say “thank you”.
Every day can be a new day. Whether you are someone leading a company/organization/country, someone suffering from addiction, or someone dealing with a serious diagnosis, you can decide to set a new direction. Decide what the change is you want to see in your world. It’s a new day. What are you waiting for?
Inspirational Poetry Books
Here are some of the books that are available from Robert Longley. I would recommend the Sacred Poem journals. Reading my earlier books (especially the ones for Military, Police and Firefighter’s families) cover to cover can be overwhelming. The poetry journals are designed to give you one poem per day while you journal about what might be going on in your life. There are specific journals for grief, success, and more.

Inspirational Poetry Products
While I do signed poetry prints that are 11×14, that isn’t the size or product that all people want. Some just want a sympathy card, others may want a large canvas print, or maybe a coffee cup. There are limits to what I can customize with the options available so some products just don’t work. Please just ignore them, I know that that format doesn’t work. If you are looking for something specific, or would like to make something specific just let me know. I’m open to just about anything.
